The emblem of Madagascar (French: emblème de Madagascar) includes an outline map of the island at the center (together with two smaller islands nearby: the Glorioso Islands and Tromelin Island), and below it the head of a zebu. Colors used are red, green, yellow, black, and white. Green and red rays emanate from the map, making it look like the sun and also the Ravenala, a plant typical of Madagascar.

The emblem is surrounded by Malagasy. The upper part of the emblem written the official name of the country: REPOBLIKAN'I MADAGASIKARA ("Republic of Madagascar" in English or "République de Madagascar" in French) and at the base bears the national motto: TANINDRAZANA - FIRAISANKINA – FANORENANA (Homeland - Solidarity - Renew in English or "Patrie - Solidarité - Renouveau" in French). Various versions of the Constitution Article 4 have used other mottos.
